Overexertion can cause serious injury, including heart attacks.
Some individuals cannot safely elevate their heart rate to the
levels of typically used heart rate training zones. No one should
begin an exercise program without first obtaining medical
clearance, especially if there is a personal or family history of
heart disease, high blood pressure, or if you are over age 40,
have diabetes, high cholesterol, smoke cigarettes, are overweight
or are taking certain medications. Stop exercising and seek
medical attention if you notice signs of overexertion or heart
problems, such as pain or pressure in the left or mid-chest area
or left neck area, shoulder or arm, light-headedness, cold sweat,
unusual paleness or fainting. Also note that the signals used
by this monitor may interfere with a pacemaker or other implanted
devices,consult the manufacturer of the implant device and/or
your physician prior to using this monitor.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Welcome to the future of wireless heart rate technology!

Training, you will increase the effectiveness of your

guide you to your fitness goals more effectively.

rate to come back down to a resting level after your
workouts. To activate it, just stop the stopwatch when
you finish exercising. The watch will automatically switch
to the Fitness Index Mode and begin a 60-secondcountdown timer. During this countdown, you should be
concentrating on bringing your body down to a
comfortable rest, by taking deep slow breathes and
relaxing your muscles. When the countdown timer
reaches zero, the watch will beep twice and display a
number between 0 - 99. The higher this number, the
better your recovery rate.

watch in estimating the amount of calories burned during
your workout. The most common forms of exercise are
listed in the table below. Select a number from the table
below based on how hard you plan to exercise for a given
activity and set your watch accordingly (see Setting
Instructions on page 11). If you do not find the particular
activity you are looking for, refer to one that is similar.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Watch Battery Replacement
We recommend that you should take it to a local jewelry
store or an authorized Acumen service center in order to
guarantee that it will maintain its water resistance. Improper
battery replacement or service will void the warranty. If you
feel comfortable replacing your own batteries, be careful to
notice how the old battery comes out and the proper
positioning of the hold-down contacts before removing it.
Also, be careful to line up the o-ring gasket properly before
replacing the battery door cover. To insure battery water
resistance, it’s a good idea to smear a small drop of silicone
lubricant spray on the rubber o-ring.
Note: The watch will enter the shelf mode (i.e. blank screen)
after changing battery. Press any button to return to normal
mode.
Chest Transmitter Battery Replacement
Step 1: Remove the transmitter from the belt.(Fig.1)
Step 2: Use a coin to unlock the battery door, and then replace
the old battery inside with a new one. (Fig.2)
Step 3: Lock the battery door firmly into place making sure the
O-ring seal does not get pinched or distorted.
Caution: to aviod damage to the battery door,do not over tighten.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate buttons under water. Although your
watch is water resistant, be sure that you do not operate
its buttons under water as pressure can cause them to
leak.
Dry off transmitter after use. The transmitter will
automatically shut itself off once you have disconnected
it from your chest. However, it is important to thoroughly
dry it off after every use, since moisture in the electrodes
can cause it to remain on longer.
Electrode precautions. Be sure not to excessively twist
or bend the electrode portions of the chest transmitter
(never bend backwards), especially when storing it. This
can permanently damage their conductivity and cause
mechanical damage to the internal circuit.
Global Reset. If your watch should ever get stuck or
act erratically due to dropping it, static shock or some
other unforeseen reasons, this feature will allow you to
reset the watch and return all settings back to their
internal defaults. To perform this function, press and
hold all buttons together for 3 seconds under any mode.
The watch will enter the shelf mode, which is of the
.
blank screen. Press any button to restart it.
Caution: Global Reset will CLEAR UP EVERYTHING
that include your Personal Settings.
